He retained his WBA "super" light heavyweight world title and also earned a spot in ESPN's top-10 list for the first time in his career. It appears his best chance to remain on the date is a clash with Bivol that would see him return to light heavyweight. “I think he can become undisputed at 175 as well,” Hearn said of Canelo having a good chance of capturing all four belts at light heavyweight. Benavidez (25-0, 22 KO) has the better chance at landing Canelo, probably. Roman responded with one of his better rounds, going to the body in an attempt to slow Fulton down. She’s also 25 and can still get better than she is right now. But, he also has fierce footwork and we can bill ‘Sweet Hands’ as a complete fighter for the right reasons. Didn’t happen. One more right hand, and Galahad was knocked out, and Kiko Martinez (43-10-2, 30 KO) became a two-division world champion at a point in his career where it was just assumed that was beyond his ability anymore. It’s unclear if Canelo has any interest in fighting former two-time WBC super middleweight champion Benavidez. He's big even for the middleweight division after winning his first title at 154 pounds, and he has indicated interest in seeking a title in a third weight class.
The IBF super middleweight titleholder, who will attempt to take Alvarez’s three belts and become undisputed champion, told reporters before the Manny Pacquiao-Yordenis Ugas fight on Saturday that many might be shocked when he takes on the biggest star in the sport. He has a seed time of 1:51.24, and the next closest runner is Dylan Christian from Granville, who has a 1:52.66 seeding time. Alvarez has only fought one time at light heavyweight, a November 2019 bout with Sergey Kovalev where Alvarez scored one of the biggest knockouts of his career. In the meantime, the undisputed world super-middleweight champion has an upcoming fight on 7 May against WBA light heavyweight, Dmitry Bivol. With the victory, Canelo was crowned undisputed WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO super-middleweight champion of the world. Both Plant and Uzcategui competed for the IBF super-middleweight world title and they were hungry to get a win at the biggest of stages. A rare pairing of undefeated champions squaring off for a unified title takes place Saturday as lightweight titleholders Devin Haney and George Kambosos Jr. meet in a 12-round boxing championship main event. EDT, with the main event expected to begin about 11 p.m.
ET with the main event ring walks expected at approximately 11 p.m. The undercard action gets underway at 8 p.m. Considering she's fighting on the undercard of Jake Paul's pay-per-view, knocking out Yamileth Mercado would put more eyes on her. Nobody will be watching the undercard. Now, they will settle their beef in the boxing ring. It would be good to see Plant back inside the ring in the first quarter of 2022 against an elite fighter like Jermall, GGG, David Morrell Jr., or Andrade. Boxing's biggest star returns to the ring on Saturday night when Canelo Alvarez chases another bit of history. If Canelo wants to fight Jermall Charlo or David Benavidez, it helps that he’s got the freedom to battle on PBC events on SHOWTIME, like we saw last Saturday night in his fight with Caleb Plant. He dominated that fight for almost five entire rounds before he got drilled.
Saul Canelo Alvarez will step up a weight class from super-middleweight to light-heavyweight in order to fight Dmitry Bivol. With an array of options in front of him, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez has got to make the smartest decision as he attempts to exceed expectations once again. Harper looked tense, flat, and unsure of herself once she got a taste of Baumgardner’s speed and movement. And again, if you want something that isn’t my opinion, the odds were much closer for Harper-Baumgardner than for Galahad-Martinez, too, though Harper was still a solid favorite. Alvarez isn’t signed with any promoter, because like Floyd Mayweather before him, he doesn’t have to be. Canelo v Golovkin is not the only fight to have been rumoured for Canelo this year. That’s all that I want, so we’ll see after the fight. Hearn might get his way if he pushes Canelo hard enough to fight Dimitry Bivol, Gennadiy Golovkin, or John Ryder.
